This piece reflects the profound and personal connection I share with owls, creatures often misunderstood in spiritual contexts. Painted on repurposed cushion fabric, The Start of the Flight captures the exact moment before the owl takes off, symbolizing readiness, intuition, and spiritual awakening. The vibrant red frame contrasts the intricate backdrop, highlighting the owl’s presence and its transformative energy. While some see owls as omens, I see them as messengers—guides that visit me, bringing clarity and insight amidst uncertainty. This work invites viewers to embrace different perspectives and find strength in misunderstood symbols.
